After considerable growth, this organisation identified
a significant gap in its succession plans at Director
Level and the skills of those that show potential. The
shape of the 6 month programme took the form of assessment
to establish 10 high potentials via a benchmarked interview
process designed by Harper Craven rather than a costly
assessment centre. 2x3 day development sessions, remote
coaching and delivery of an off programme project whereby
delegates had to set up 2 new sites from inception to
a 3-year business plan - giving full consideration to
such factors as premises, divisional structure, researching
and marketing, financial planning, cost controls, and
development of a 3 year strategic plan. The delegates’ plans’ were
presented to the board of directors, line management
and Harper Craven for final assessment.
